The group of 12 travelers was great; we came from all over the world. As for the tour, it was well-organized. We saw a variety of landscapes, the pace was just right, the hotels were top-notch, and I even went hiking. The only downsides—the issues I see—are: - The fact that it was too much of a “tourist” experience. For example, I would have liked to eat at places frequented by locals. Which is what I did outside of the tour. - I like to tip when I want to and give the money directly myself. Talking about it right from the start of the tour—even “suggesting” an amount—seemed odd to me. We didn’t find out until the end what the money was used for. It would have been more appropriate to explain when it was spent and check with the other travelers in the group to see if they were okay with it and how much. I’d like to point out that we’d already paid for the entire trip, and on top of that, we were still paying for activities on site that weren’t included. Overall, I’ll have fond memories of the trip.Show more
